"To get Grammys, and to even be included in a community of musicians [like this], it's just such a blessing," Maxwell told MTV. "And then to have this wonderful legend, Roberta Flack, come walking out with this song, she's just amazing. I felt like I was suspended in animation. It was really surreal to me to be on that stage."

Christmas has come a little early this year for Maxwell fans! The Grammy powers-that-be have released the first roster of artists set to perform at the January 31st show, and Maxwell is among them.

The AP reported his disbelief upon hearing the news stating, "This is very surreal for me. I'm not used to this. I've been throwing out my trash, buying milk, and living in basic obscurity.... I feel like I've already won."
That's a great attitude to have, and?he'll need all the positive vibes he can get.?Maxwell is going up against many music veterans in the various categories, including Beyonce, John Legend, Jason Mraz, India Arie and others.
The 52nd Grammy Awards airs on January 31, 2010, from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, on CBS at 8pm (EST).

Maxwell has been rehearsing in Toronto for the past two weeks for his first-ever arena tour. All that hard work finally came to fruition when he took the stage with U2 last night at the Air Canada Centre. Prior to that, Maxwell met front man Bono when they shared a car mix-up at New York City?s Hit Factory.
"I got the call that he wanted to meet me. We had already met. We met in New York City one time. He thought one of my cars was his. He was trying to get into my car. I had a car, a Mercedes, outside, and he thought it was his car. It was the funniest thing because he remembered. He was like, ‘Yeah, I remember you. I was trying to get into your car.' I was going to give him the car. Take the car!" Maxwell said.
